I recently acquired a Colt Commander. The serial number puts it at a 1947 manufacturing year. Everything is original, including the "plastic" grips. I would like to shoot it, but I don't want to ruin its value. If shooting it is O.K., could I get the trigger worked on without ruining its vintage worth. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Nothing? I was hoping for some opinions.

Your gun isn't worth very much any way. Enjoy it as you will get little when sold.

In another post you say "colt today is worthless".

Did you even read the OP post, their gun is probably older than you, so yes it does have a collector value if nothing else.

Sorry you got a bad one, but saying they are all junk is just ridiculous.

In all original condition, its still post-war. Don't know much about the value of pre-Series 70 pistols - maybe a dedicated Colt forum could reveal more, as well as some sites like G-B for research purposes.

If you have the original box and documentation - yes it will be worth money to a collector. If it has not been shot and you want to sell it - then don't shoot it. If you have no plans to sell it - then shoot it and enjoy. Just take care of it.
